Long-flowing water; exhausted water — a drying current needing earth banks or strong metal source to continue. Water at the edge of fire's domain.

Want to read the almanac yourself — not just check it?
Methodology: stem-branch positions, Day Officers, and solar terms are computed by the Yixin Academy chart engine (the same engine behind the free BaZi calculator). 宜/忌 annotations follow the Twelve Day Officers tradition of the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書) lineage; 60-pillar day notes are cited from San Ming Tong Hui (三命通会) with confidence grades. Month and year pillars switch on the solar-term civil day, per printed-almanac convention. The day pillar follows Master Yi Xin's night-zi (夜子时) convention: the day changes at civil midnight, so 23:00–24:00 keeps the current day's pillar with its hour stem from the next day's sequence — the same rule as our BaZi calculator. Auspicious hours follow the Twelve Spirits Yellow Path system; the night-zi hour's spirit is provisionally anchored to the current day's branch, pending Master Yi Xin's review. Regenerated daily at midnight Singapore time — no editorial process, every line traceable to its source.
